Douluo Continent: The Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, Ma Xiaotao is Addicted

Ye Chen forked a small piece of tender and juicy pork chop and put it in his mouth, chewing it slowly, but his gaze kept drifting to his side.

The candlelight danced on Gu Yuena's exquisite profile, outlining her perfect features.

She sipped the deep red liquid in her glass, her eyes slightly unfocused as she gazed at the dazzling lights of countless homes outside the window, seemingly lost in thought.

Ye Chen smiled and naturally put his arm around Gu Yuena's slender waist, pulling her closer to him.

Ye Chen suddenly leaned close to her ear, his warm breath, carrying the scent of red wine, brushing lightly against her sensitive earlobe, and said with a smile, "Remember when I said I was going to give you a big gift?"

"Well……"

Gu Yuena's body stiffened visibly for a moment, then trembled slightly as if startled.

Ye Chen's presence and sudden closeness sent a chill down her spine, a strange, tingling sensation spreading along her spine and making her uneasy.

"I don't know... Don't get so close to me, you jerk..."

Her voice trembled noticeably, and her hands weakly pushed against Ye Chen's firm chest, more like a gentle caress that was both reluctant and welcoming.

She tried to turn her head to the other side, attempting to avoid Ye Chen's burning gaze and presence.

Her delicate cheeks and the roots of her ears flushed an even deeper blush.

"That despicable guy, he clearly did it on purpose!"

Gu Yuena thought to herself, annoyed.

Ye Chen knew perfectly well that the area behind her ears and her waist were extremely sensitive, yet he still deliberately moved closer to her.

And he deliberately spoke in that low, seductive tone.

This is practically testing her willpower!

Which female dragon could withstand such a test?
"Really not going to take a look?"

Ye Chen seemed quite satisfied with her reaction, his smile deepening, tinged with a hint of mischief.

Ye Chen maintained this intimate yet slightly oppressive posture, while his other hand took out an antique and warm jade box and handed it to Gu Yuena.

The jade box was no bigger than the palm of my hand, pure white, and emitted a soft glow.

The surface is covered with extremely mysterious and complex patterns, like flowing marks of time.

This is a time seal placed by Ye Chen, which firmly locks in the aura and energy within the box.

However, even so, an extremely domineering force of rules still stubbornly managed to slip through these layers of seals, escaping in a very faint trace.

"No, no, get away from me, you bastard..."

Gu Yuena originally wanted to continue pretending to be angry and firmly reject anything Ye Chen offered, so she closed her eyes tightly and waved her little hands.

But when she sensed that faint breath, all her movements and expressions froze instantly.

The hand that had been pushing her away froze in mid-air. Her head, which had been turned away, snapped back, and her pair of bright, star-like purple eyes widened instantly as she stared intently at Ye Chen's jade box.

Although the aura of what was inside was concealed to the extreme, the resonance originating from the deepest part of one's bloodline was absolutely unmistakable.

"This...this is..."

Gu Yuena instinctively covered her mouth, her beautiful face filled with shock and disbelief, her heart churning with turbulent emotions.

"You...you...how did you do that? How is this possible..."

Gu Yuena was certain that what lay quietly inside that jade box was definitely the divine essence of the Golden Dragon King!
She had longed countless times to merge with it, to restore the Dragon God's power to her own body.

But she knew even more clearly that in order to take the lead and completely integrate with the dragons instead of being devoured, she had to first kill the Golden Dragon King and destroy his will.

She did consider seeking Ye Chen's help, but ultimately gave up.

Because the Golden Dragon King's body, which is said to be the most durable in the universe, is almost a symbol of immortality.

Even the combined efforts of the five great god-kings were futile.

While Ye Chen's time manipulation techniques are powerful, they are primarily a means of imprisonment. Faced with absolute defense, Gu Yuena doesn't believe Ye Chen can truly threaten the Golden Dragon King.

Anyway, since the Golden Dragon King is sealed, she's not in a hurry. At worst, she can wait hundreds of thousands or even millions of years until the Golden Dragon King is completely destroyed. At that time, she can still merge with the Golden Dragon King's divine essence.

But, to my utter surprise...

At this moment, the divine essence of the Golden Dragon King appeared before her.

Doesn't this mean that the Golden Dragon King was killed by Ye Chen...?

How is this possible...

How exactly did Ye Chen manage to do that?
As Gu Yuena sensed that familiar divine aura, she felt her breath catch in her throat.

"Hurry up and absorb it, this was originally meant for you." Ye Chen's calm voice pulled Gu Yuena back from her shock.

Gu Yuena took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the excitement in her heart and the tingling sensation in her body.

She carefully reached out and touched the warm, smooth jade box.

She felt a cool, delicate touch on her fingertips, but her heart burned like fire.

She slowly opened the box.

The light sealed by time rippled out like water the moment the box was opened, forming an invisible barrier.

Inside the box, a golden crystal the size of a pigeon's egg lay quietly on soft velvet.

It is crystal clear, with liquid gold flowing inside, and countless intricate runes of primordial rules appearing and disappearing endlessly within it.

A powerful sense of energy washed over me, as if I were facing a condensed, raging universe.

This is the divine essence of the Golden Dragon King, representing ultimate power and defense.

Looking at this divine spark that originated from the same source as her, yet was completely opposite to it, Gu Yuena's eyes flashed with extremely complex emotions.

There was longing, but also a sense of regret for the Golden Dragon King.

But more than anything, it stems from a primal desire for survival.

Because this divine essence is the key to completing herself!
She hesitated no more.

Extending her slender fingers, a soft silver glow swirled around her fingertips, she slowly touched the golden divine spark.

The instant her fingertips touched the surface of the divine object.

The golden crystal suddenly burst forth with pure light, instantly enveloping Gu Yuena's fingertips and then rapidly spreading upwards along her arm.

Gu Yuena's body trembled slightly, and her eyes closed involuntarily.

She felt a vast, galaxy-like energy surge into her body, flowing from her fingertips like rivers flowing into the sea.

The moment this power entered Gu Yuena's body, the Silver Dragon King's original power within her seemed to receive the strongest call and instantly awakened!

Silver light surged from her limbs and bones, meeting the incoming golden torrent.

A golden and silver light intertwined within her body.

Instead of the expected intense conflict and painful tearing apart, it presented a harmonious and smooth integration.

The moment the golden torrent of power came into contact with the silver source, its violent nature seemed to be instantly calmed and purified.

The golden energy flowed as if it had found its final destination, flowing seamlessly into her blood, bones, and the depths of her soul, perfectly combining with her own silver divine power.

Ultimately, the rules of the two divine essences complemented each other, transforming into a divine essence that radiated seven colors!
It is indeed the divine nature of the Dragon God!

A perfectly defined Dragon God's divine status!
An intense feeling of comfort spread throughout Gu Yuena's body.

Gu Yuena felt herself being elevated.

Originally at the peak of the first-level god realm, he easily broke through it, charging all the way to the peak of the god king realm, reaching the same level as Ye Chen!
However, he only reached the same level as Ye Chen in rank, but as for combat strength... he was definitely far inferior to Ye Chen.

Even so, Gu Yuena was very satisfied.

Although she obtained the complete Dragon God's divine status, she was not the Dragon God; she was still the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena!
Moreover, by eliminating the violent and irritable flaws of the Golden Dragon King, she became even more perfect, with a purer and more powerful bloodline!

However, along with their powerful bloodlines, dragons' desire for that kind of thing is also rapidly amplifying.

"Na'er, you smell so good..."

Ye Chen's voice rang out behind her, his scorching breath relentlessly striking her neck.

"Ugh...you're so cheesy, you jerk..."

Gu Yuena looked at Ye Chen, her eyes filled with a daze, and her whole body went limp, without a trace of strength.

They knew perfectly well that this was Ye Chen's trap.

But she still took the bait...

She didn't blame Ye Chen for being too cunning.

She only blamed herself for being careless.

Despite all precautions, they couldn't prevent Ye Chen's move.
